Default 2 really dumb PS3 questions
I have 2 contollers but only one lead. What is the name of the lead (for charging/connecting to my PS3)

Also, can I play PS1 games on my PS3. I heard I can if the drive is a certain size...how can I find this out?

Thanks
Hog

If you have the newer 40Gb version of the PS3 then it's not backwards compatable, at all. If it's the 60Gb there are lists on the internet, if you search google im sure you'll find out what games work (as only some do).

This cable?

Are they not just mini USB to big USB? If so they come with loads of different things, I've usually got heaps lying about, came with my camera/portable hard drive/Pocket Pod etc etc.

Every PS3 will play a PS1 game (there may be a few games that don't work at all though). It's only emulation for PS2 games that there is no backwards compatability with on newer models.

I think it's just a mini USB to USB for the controllers. Why do you need two leads though?

Presumably so he can charge them both at the same time.

What was the logic behind scrapping the backwards compatability anyway?
